Big Girl!!

We finally got the straps untwisted, the car seat installed, and a picture taken of Samantha in her new big girl car seat.

Happy Easter!!

I hope you all had a fabulous Easter! Our fun day began with Marc following a path of filled, plastic Easter eggs that lead him to his Easter basket.After we got done with Marc's basket, we gave Samantha her very first Easter basket.After church we went over to my Mom's house for lunch. She had an egg hunt for Marc that led to his and Samantha's Easter bags that she did for them.After the egg hunt and bag opening, we had lunch. Samantha enjoyed her first ham Easter lunch.
..My mom has a bunch of the Hallmark singing Easter "toys". Samantha LOVED them. She sat and watched the chicken do the chicken dance for a long time.My Mom bought Marc's Easter outfit and my Grandma bought Samantha's Easter dress. They both looked very cute! We tried to take some pictures but Marc was not in the mood to get his picture taken, so these are the best of the bunch.

Stoufer Family Saturday Out

We have been really busy lately so we decided to have a fun day out. We started out by going to the Gerald Ford Presidential Museum. My husband gave Marc a quick lesson on the Oval Office.After we went through the whole museum, we went out to lunch. Samantha had her first hot dog.After we had lunch we went to the Meijer Gardens to hang out with some butterflies.Samantha sported her cute sunglasses for all of about 5 seconds, but we were able to snap a quick picture before she took them off and started chewing on them.In the log cabin at the Gardens, they had a checkers set so Daddy taught Marc how to play.Marc had fun playing in the sandbox.We tried to do one of those pictures where you lay the camera on the ground and everyone looks down at it. When you do it you can have a "landmark" behind you. It is supposed to be the big horse at the Meijer Gardens behind us.After we left the Meijer Gardens we drove past Robinette's Apple Orchard. Marc had been asking what that place was so we decided to stop and show him. There wasn't a whole lot to see since it is not apple season, but at least he knows what it is now.We ended our day of fun by having dinner at Logan's. We discovered Samantha has become another Stoufer fan of Logan's. Yummy!

Hanging out with the Tell's

Me and the kids went over to a friend of mine from high school's house on Friday. It has been about a year since we have seen each other so we had lots of catching up to do.....and so did the kids! :)
Marc and gabby had fun playing "husband and wife". They fed their babies lunch.
That made them tired, so they took a nap. ;)
We tried to get a picture of the 5 kids together, but that is easier said than done.All in all, I think a good time was had by all. Thanks for having us over Chrissy!! :)
